Hello, I'm Itchy feet: mum to 3 year old twin girls

hubby & I are planning the move to NZ.
Can I have some input about Pegasus town?
Pegasus Town, North Canterbury, New Zealand: Property development, Property investment, Lifestyle property. Pegasus Bay Christchurch NZ
Manmade/manufactured monstrosity or fantastic giant playground for kids (of all ages)?
Despite my love of 'real' nature, I am very attracted to the idea of living within walking distance of all these oudoor activities. I like the Christchurch area (beaches, skiing, walking & city life), but have been told that the sea is freezing even with a wetsuit

& the pegasus town lake will be warm & safe for kids.
Anyone else have any thoughts; both positive & negative gladly accepted.
Am considering buying a house & land package before prices go out of our reach.
